I agree; it does sound like they chipped your stones based on the pictures and past threads. I am sorry this happened; hope you find a better jeweler next time.Date: 3/19/2008 10:10:46 PM

Well they chipped in your cross. Thinking you need a new jeweler for future projects.![]()

in a 4 prong setting is it easy for small diamonds to be chipped just by accidently banging it on a table or something or is that unlikely? how about if the diamonds are in a channel setting with gold pushing over diamond is it more secure or less secure to diamond chipping ?
thanks
just don''t put them on over a ceramic sink.Date: 3/20/2008 3:16:58 PM

I don''t know, but just wanted to say I have been wondering the same thing! I have small diamonds (~7 pointers) set in hoop earrings, and they share prongs in the middle, but are otherwise ''open'' on the sides. I have a tendency to drop my earrings on my dresser when I put them on/take them off, so I have gotten a bit worried about chipping or otherwise damaging the girdle of the diamonds or any other vulnerable parts (facets?).
I always think of diamonds as being especially durable, but have read more about people''s experiences with chipped/''bruised''/etc. diamonds, so have been getting worried...
Will follow responses to this thread with interest![]()

so i guess in general you shouldnt be too worried about meelee diamonds in a 4 prong bead setting even if you drop them on the ground or cement or something?
Sorry to sound rude if I do, but I''m gonna venture out on a limb here to say this seems like a silly question?! Isn''t the point of owning "nice things" like diamond jewellery is that you look after it and that you don''t go dropping it on cement/ground as little as possible?!Date: 3/20/2008 7:18:46 PM
